8/10 - The pacing of this show is perfection!

The realistic quality of My ID is Gangnam Beauty is so great. Sure there are plenty of "drama" basics, but how much better is that with the real life quality added in!

Kyung Suk's emotions are clearly out there on his sleeve. He doesn't care who knows and he's not embarrassed. It's refreshing. Even from telling that brief "stalker" on the bus that he is Mi Rae's boyfriend. Clearly if Mi Rae hadn't gotten embarrassed he would have just rolled with it. It's so refreshing to have a lead be honest and unembarrassed about his true feelings. Mi Rae is wondering if he has feelings for her because he's putting out there. I'm so happy that while at first she's shy about the idea, she realizes that it might be true! Yes, girl you are more than worthy! No doubt!

Kyung Suk is being asked by Soo Ah if he has a girlfriend and Mi Rae is asked if she has a boyfriend by Woo Young. It's clear that no matter who asks her out Mi Rae will feel self conscious about her plastic surgery. I felt very happy that Woo Young said, "So what? You did it to be beautiful and you are!" Soo Ah is really using all her tricks to get close to Kyung Suk. I feel like soon we should know why she has to have all the male attention. It feels off that none of the other guys attention can waver. Or if it's just Kyung Suk as the ultimate prize?

It's so sweet how Kyung Suk likes Mi Rae. It's "in secret", but at the same time he's clearly not hiding anything. I know I'm being contradictory. What's more is how sweet Kyung Suk is with his sister. Despite what they thought happened with their mother and their cold father they love each other. Even with Kyung Suk's cold personality he loves and looks after his sister. My heart was melting right a long with Mi Rae is he cut that food in half to share with his sister!

It also broke my heart to hear Kyung Suk's sister talk about how horrible Hye Seong is. Then to realize that Hye Seong had no clue that her Ex had lied to the point like. That I'm so glad she strong armed he Ex and made him tell the truth! Plus, I loved seeing her take on the role of being a mother to Kyung Suk. It's never too late to mend fences.

This episode was also brillaint in showing the first and second love interests fight for Mi Rae's attention. Kyung Suk is clearly jealous like any human and I loved how the writing made it that way. There's no magic to it. From being petty and even arm wrestling Woo Young. Hyun Jung clearly knows both men like Mi Rae. I know she's probably hoping that kyung Suk will win her heart so she can have Woo Young. I am very much rooting for Woo Young and Hyun Jung to be an item! Fighting!

I love that Mi Rae's parents got to meet Kyung Suk! Now they've met both love interests. So I feel like both men have pretty equal footing now.

What's more impressive is that Soo Ah is actually showing her true colors. I mean wow! I can't believe that she would possibly believe that Mi Rae would be too stupid to realize the kind of knives that Soo Ah was tossing. If the writing quality holds up Mi Rae will see what's happening!
